The first earthquake struck at a 7.2 magnitude, with the second 7.5 magnitude earthquake compounding damage less than a minute later. The quakes made buildings sway, collapsing several across the city, with residents evacuating into the streets in search of safety. Residents have been urged to remain outside as aftershocks could cause further damage. At least 160 people have died, with hundreds more missing and injured as search and rescue efforts are underway.
